EVENT LOG:
GRAVES

characters: everyone.
location: Bonfire Square.
date/time: July 12-19.
content: mysterious shrines appear and bring visions of death.
warnings: likely violence and potentially gore.

time to pay your respects.

It happens when no one is looking, when most of the town is asleep and the rest are inside. A makeshift cemetery has come to Beacon, taking up residence in the middle of Bonfire Square. Each monument, shrine, and altar is dedicated to someone who now resides here, a memorial of their previous life.

Some may be drawn by curiosity, others by fear, and some may simply have to pass through this strange graveyard to get to the Bonfire itself. Whenever a person gets near, the altars beckon with a mysterious urge— an urge to approach, and an urge to leave something behind. They will feel compelled to make offerings at the various shrines, but doing so has a curious effect; it causes one to experience the death of the person whose grave they've honored.

Whether you resist the compulsion or give in willingly (or something in between), you'll also have to wrestle with the fact that a grave exists for you. Will you let your death be known, or try your best to keep it secret? Destroying it sure won't work, as it will return— with a duplicate somewhere else in town.

However you choose to deal with this, one thing is hard to ignore— this a tangible reminder of your death, and the fact that it's probably permanent.

[evocation]

Um... There's not really many places to go. Can we just... hang out for a little while?

[She's feeling clingy.]

[hardwearing]

Sure. Back to the inn?

[evocation]

[She nods, pressing into his side.]

Are you sure you're okay?

[hardwearing]

Okay might be overstating it right now. Maybe soon.

[ He tilts his head back towards the Invincible and gives her a little tug. ]

Come on, before I get stubborn again.

[evocation]

[That gets a hesitant smile out of her.]

You're always stubborn, and I never, ever am.

[hardwearing]

Both of those statements are very wrong, and you know it. Are you just trying to make me feel better about wanting to camp out in a graveyard?

[evocation]

Maybe I'm just trying to make you feel better, like, in general.

[hardwearing]

I think you'll manage that without even trying.

[ He leans down just enough to kiss her forehead, then back to the Invincible they go. ]
